| STAR TREK I: “V'GER – SPOCK MINDMELD MODEL PIECE” | |||
| A large model piece created for Star Trek I: The Motion Picture made to be part of the ‘V'Ger’ probe which approached Earth. With the “USS Enterprise” held within it, “Spock” (Leonard Nimoy) left the ship and encountered multiple visual records of V’Ger’s travels across the galaxy. Coming upon this piece, “Spock” recognized a complete reconstruction of the ‘Epsilon IX’ space station held within the probe, the same station V’Ger destroyed earlier in the film. The item is a large formation of epoxy ‘lips’ with an incredible amount of fiber optic placements. The item is gray in color, molded with excruciating detail, some more amazing in person than on screen, with a wood backing which was replaced by images of ‘Epsilon IX’ while on screen, and with four separate quadrants of fiber optic cables connected to the four interconnected pieces making the item come to life when lit. By simply placing a flashlight or other illumination (not included) on any of the collected ends of the fiber optics a section of the lips will light; with a larger light source the entire piece shines with what must be hundreds of lighted windows. A variety of sensor antennae dot the outside of the item, some are broken off after a thirty year existence, but enough are intact or accompanying to retain the original appearance. The item ships inside its own, original wooden crate, outfitted with wheels. Some of the photographs used are screen captures from DVD in an effort to reproduce the item’s original appearance, the close-ups indicate the level of intricate detail, and the item has been kept in its case upon location in an effort to prevent any danger to befall it. This one of a kind, model is one of the last of a dying breed, fully three dimensional movie models are much less cost effective than computer generated renderings and thus, this piece from a bygone era must be preserved. In its case, the item measures approx. 38.25 X 109 X 39.5 inches. | |||
